Kirby Shooting Case Recused by Prosecutor

Michigan State Police have closed their investigation into the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Isaiah Kirby in East Lansing, handing over the full case file to the state Attorney General’s Office. Ingham County Prosecutor John Dewane stepped aside, citing personal and professional ties to the stabbing victim, Douglas Mielock, to avoid conflict of interest. The shooting occurred on April 15 near Lake Lansing and Abbot roads after officers responded to a theft and stabbing call, finding Kirby with a knife and reportedly running toward them—leading to multiple shots fired and Kirby’s death. Mielock is recovering from his injuries. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
